IgA   IM. 1.1.    1.50  g/l  norm- 0.7-4

 

Transglutaminase Ab ( IgA )  IM.2.6.1  0.3 U/ml  <7.0 ( borderline : 7-10, positive: >10)

 

Gliadin Ab ( deamidated, IgG ) IM.4.8.3 

0.7  U/ml   <7.0 ( <7  borderline: 7-10, positive: >10 )

 

P.S. 

But I didn’t eat gluten for 3 months and when I went to the doctor, I told him about this, he warned me that I should start eating gluten again for 20 days, but I couldn’t stand it that long. I was only able to hold out for 10 days and on the 10th day, I did these tests.

Welcome to the forum, @Nora Sofian!

None of the test results you listed are positive and you are not IGA deficient. Unfortunately, being gluten free for so long and then returning to gluten consumption for only 10 days may have rendered the testing invalid.

Current guidelines for the "gluten challenge" after three months of being gluten free are the daily consumption of 10g of gluten (the equivalent of 4-6 slices of bread) for at least two weeks.

But let me ask you, did your symptoms improve while off of gluten for three months? What are your symptoms when on gluten? Have you considered the possibility that you might not have celiac disease but NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity)? They share many of the same symptoms but NCGS does not damage the villous lining of the small bowel and so there is not test for it. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. NCGS is 10x more common than celiac disease.

My symptoms were: bloating either diarrhea or constipation heaviness in my stomach after eating, even if I haven't eaten much redness of the skin under the eyes and in the corners of the lips irritation, aggression, insomnia, joint pain, numbness of hands greasy stool swelling under the eyes (fluid stagnation in the body) As soon as I eliminated gluten, after 2 days I felt an improvement, and over time all these symptoms went away. But when I started eating gluten again for tests, my diarrhea did not stop, almost all the symptoms returned, now I don’t eat gluten again, but the redness on my face still hasn’t completely gone away.

Try taking collagen to repair your intestines. There was a children's doctor back in 1970s who gave B complex injection to heal lining. Also selenium helps with inflammation. A liquid B complex by quantum nutrition can act like a shot

Thanks for advice @JB007 I’ll read about it.

      Still testing positive after being gluten free for one year ?!!

      By Jenn D · Posted

      Hi. Did your ema levels ever go negative? My son is 2 years in gluten free and they are still positive.  I'm scared he has refractory celiac disease. Please if anyone has any info greatly appreciate it. His ttg is 3 which is considered normal.

      Not sure if this is Celiac or just a gluten-free intolerance

      I will have that info soon but it was a laundry list of a test and 9 viles. ok so there were some days she was gluten she barely ate because of the reactions. I told her 3 weeks of atleast 10g’s a day and no gluten-free days. Thanks so much for your help! I didn’t know my suggestion for gluten-free days would have hurt her.    I will come back with the list to make sure the req was proper!!

      A "gluten challenge" of two weeks would be the bare minimum for expecting to render valid testing, and that would have been paired with eating a minimum of 10 g of gluten each day (the equivalent of 4-6 slices of wheat bread). And with the three gluten free days in the midst of that two week gluten challenge I would not have confidence in the results of the testing. Was there a blood test done for IGA deficiency? Can you post the test names that were done with the scores and with the reference ranges used by the lab? By the way, with celiac disease the issue is not being able to digest gluten. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder defined by the fact that ingestion of gluten triggers an immune system response that attacks the membrane that lines the small bowel. The immune system mistakenly identifies the protein gluten as a biologic invader.

      Hey all!! M i want to thank everyone for their suggestions and advice - I am a single mother of 4 (now 3) and was helping with my oldest leaving the nest. I have another child with medical issues and with work (it’s our end year), life has been crazy and I haven’t had the time to answer.    so we got a blood test done for my daughter that can’t digest gluten. She had been eating gluten for 2 weeks. The blood work came back normal? How is that possible. I see her with my own eyes and it’s not normal. Is that not long enough?  I am thinking about having her eat gluten another week then go to the hospital and see what they say.    She did have 3 gluten-free days in those 2 weeks but she was getting afraid to eat and I told her to may take a day off - was this a bad thing to do? Girl was having constant back pains and muscle soreness as well. Headaches/migraines…should I wait longer. I did see 4-6 weeks of Gluten consumption prior to testing… kind of at a loss now.    Thanks to everyone for whatever advice you can give.   Enjoy your Sunday 😃👋👋
